After they announced a handful of anniversary shows next year, I've got a sneaking suspicion we see a repress.

 

Maybe. Hope so for those who don’t have it.

 

Aw boo, I was hoping we'd get The Inevitability of a Strange World pressed. LOVE that album.

 

Yeah, the only comments they left on (and maybe they shut them off awhile ago) are on the Adam from Fenix TX memorial post and the Early November vinyl announcement post that just a collection of people wondering why their orders haven’t been fulfilled. Like all things Drive-Thru - what a mess.

 

Extra copies of this one up. Move fast.

Edit: Sold out.

Borders & Boundaries (Reissue)

 

For real, no one ever talks about that album but it's got a lot of bangers. Very underrated

 

still havent received SILYMI from SOV

 

They're charging above Discogs prices for most of this stuff. Ridiculous.

 

I was hoping for a copy of Emotion is Dead and then I saw the price. They can fuck off.

 

Yeah those sense field records would be sick but not for that price

 

Went to Bucket O’ Blood today for my fiancé’s friends birthday party and let me tell you folks being able to drink beer while record shopping is not conducive to saving money

 

Name one person who needs money. I’ll wait

 

nvm

 

question for anyone who has used one of the QR codes for the Furnace fest pressings online after it happened... does anyone know when they are due to ship? (was in such a hurry to checkout I didn't look for any of that information.)

 

Now that I’ve completed my renovation works I’m finally getting round to (re)organising my collection of approx 1800. Just curious how people organise on here.

Do you? And if so what convention do you follow. My usual is numbers followed by alphabetical (by surname), compilations at the end. I’m now considering alphabetising by first name instead. Interested to know what others do on here!

 

pretty much same as you but I use the first name alphabetically not the surname.

 

Alphabetical by first name and then chronologically but with re-records/rereleases placed by their original release.

Untitled, Greatest Hits, Neighborhoods.

Red, 1989, 1989 Taylor’s Version, Reputation

 

I agree with Tyler on this. That's my exact organization system

 

I thought I was the only freak who alphabetized by first name. We exist!

 

(A product of growing up in the iTunes generation, I think.)

 

iTunes naming conventions more or less shape how i sort metadata in my digital collection, down to capitalization, genre-assignment, etc.

 

I still need a minute to orient myself to last name, first name sorting whenever I go to the record store. Just not how my brain works for music.

 

yeah doesn’t help when they put stuff like Father John Misty under “M” and Lana Del Rey under “D” lol

 

it's weird because i get why they do it in the same way that a bookstore would sort authors by last name within their respective genres, but on the other hand so much of the resurgence in vinyl has been due to newer age cohorts who are probably more familiar with a first name, last name sorting as seen on their music streaming service of choice. but also when i go into a record store it's like a switch automatically flips in my brain telling me "no, Michael, it's last name then first". just funny how that happens.

 

Completely agree - I’ve always done surname first because of record stores but I prefer the first name, as with iTunes etc. Digital age. That’s what I’ve gone with this time.

Moving house and reorganising the collection is a task but it will all be worth it. Making custom backspacers for them as I go as well.

On a related note I always ignore THE but A Tribe Called Quest and A Day To Remember will always be A. One of the reasons NFG dropped the A!
